"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism..."--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
“It’s a mystery to me how manufacturing a false FICO score, securitizing the mortgage, and then flushing the resulting “AAA” derivative a$$paper/poison into the global economic infrastructure... hasn’t been prosecuted as the obvious and deliberate FRAUD that it is.”
I suspect that it takes a lot of time and money to pinpoint where the fraud occurred in each mortgage. The borrower could have lied, the broker could have phonied up the numbers, the rating agency could have knowingly bestowed a false rating. Prosecutors may not want to devote the resources.
